We're doing a cookout! Join us at 2pm tomorrow (03.23) at the Reservoir in Maple Leaf for strong, cheap drinks and grilled food items!

This local treasure features a pleasant outdoor area with a bbq we can use as well as covered areas and uncovered grassy areas. Also free shuffleboard! If you dont feel like eating stuff you bring they also serve food.

Here is a link to the FB event and HERE is a google doc where we can coordinate what we are bringing, which might be helpful, as well as get all psyched and shit.

My gf works in Renton so I think she may like it a bit more. She said she can hop on the express lanes if they're open going south in the AM and it will shorten her commute. I work in the U District so I'm not worried about driving, I just don't want our house to get broken into, we have great renters insurance so I'm not that worried about it, it's just a hassle I don't want to deal with.

I hate greenwood and every person I've met from there and every time I've passed through has just been a shady experience and I hate being closer to that area, especially with this green lake rapist guy going around. I'm just hoping this turns out to be good because I'm giving up a great spot in Fremont I was really lucky to get.

I've lived in Fremont the past 2 years and it's everything I've dreamed of in a place to live my whole life. I also don't have a car and want to be close to the city so Bellevue is def not an option. This isn't a post about what area is best for me because I like where I am, I just have an option to change from an apartment to a house that's the same price and has more square footage and I'd be living with 2 of my best friends who all share the same career and are trying for the same goals as me.

It's the only place I've lived that I have had a car stolen from, but it still has a near and dear place in my heart. My neighbors were super cool about my garage band disturbing the peace.

It's quiet but the bus access is good and the bicycling options are great. I loved being able to go to Green Lake on a whim. Few bars have friendlier customers and bartender than The Rez. When I was living there, Cooper's was kind of a crossroads between the city and Lake City... and probably still is.

Cool! Thanks for the reply! I currently live on Stone Way in Fremont and work in the U District. I love my area now but I live in an apartment and this would move me into a house for the same price with 200+ more square footage. It would also put me 30 blocks northeast of where I live now so I'm a little scared. The area is actually south Maple Leaf, 75th and 11th area and i know nothing about the area except the Atlantic Crossing is close as well as Safeway and my bike ride to work will be extended by .2 of a mile. This house means I give up my great view of the city, but I'll be living with 2 people who have degrees in Film like myself and will help get my career further off the ground.

I'm really attached to my area now so I'm sorta bummed but a few friends have been telling me even though its far north, it's 2 blocks east of green lake community center and theres a few cool places nearby.

I lived on 75th & 15th for a couple. It was okay. Minus a few bars, the area shuts down early and you kind of get sick of the options. It's true that it's just a quick bus to the U District or downtown or anywhere, but a bus ride is never as quick or convenient as you want it to be. Biking is okay but it gets stupid hilly the farther North East you go.

I gotta say though, it was pretty nice paying half what I pay now for 2-3x as much space. Don't think I would do it again for a decade or two, but it might be okay. Just don't put on blinders because of the price. I did that and I was generally unsatisfied with what I got.
